Real Madrid's brutal response to rumors of Vinícius's departure: 'If he...'

Amid all the changes coming for Real Madrid, one of the major modifications is the possible departure of Vinícius from Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The possibility of the '7' verdeamarelo leaving, especially considering the offers from Saudi Arabia, has become one of the club's most striking sagas... for several months now, since he fell short in the race for the Ballon d'Or.

From the Valdebebas offices, they have sent the same message since that day in October 2024: Vinícius is not for sale. The Brazilian footballer is one of the most important players on the first team, he has been since he joined the club in the summer of 2018. That's why the club's executives can't conceive the idea of letting him leave under any circumstances, which is the basis of the negotiations for his renewal.

The information from the newspaper As offers more details regarding that perspective. According to this sports newspaper, Real Madrid considers Vinícius Jr. one of their 'franchise players', a very important soccer asset on par with others like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.

That's why the idea of his sale seems more than absurd among the members of the club's leadership. "If we sell him, we lose one of our franchise players", some of Real Madrid's leaders state regarding this 'case'. That's why the renewal of the South American '7' is so important.

end of the debate

Real Madrid makes it clear that they are not willing to sell Vinícius under any scenario. The only exit for the São Gonçalo striker that could take place from the club is framed in his departure as a free agent... assuming that the negotiations for his renewal with the club's leadership end up failing.

It doesn't seem that the Valdebebas offices are willing to let that happen. While it is true that there have been some tough conversations, especially regarding the financial aspect, several media outlets have already reported some agreements between the player's camp and the management. This convergence of positions would put an end to one of the most striking debates at Real Madrid in recent months.

The club has had to step in on multiple occasions to prevent Vinícius's continuity from being in question. The offers from Saudi Arabia have played a key role in all those rumors over the past few months, a space that the player's camp and the entity have used to advance his renewal. It seems they have reached a common ground that could soon become official.

In any case, Real Madrid insists on their willingness not to let Vinícius Jr. leave. The outcome of the sale was completely ruled out, an emphasis that the club's leaders repeat by calling him a 'franchise player' of a project he is expected to lead alongside Bellingham and Mbappé.
